 Week 52 (Dec. 27-Jan. 2): Future

There’s not really much I can add to the “future” theme, apart from that I will be continuing to take part in the “future”.

Week 9 (February 26th -March 3rd ): Disaster

Image
From Amy Johnson Crow - Our ancestors were no strangers to hardship and loss. We should remember those stories as much as we remember the stories of triumph. Our ancestors faced any number of disasters — natural, personal, financial. Perhaps you've had a disaster in your research. How did they (or you) overcome it? (Or maybe they didn't?) Where I thought last week’s theme was hard this weeks has been even harder. I honestly couldn’t think of any “ disaster ” linked to any of my family.

Yes this year has taken me longer than it should for some to be written but I got there in the end. I plan to do the 52 in 52 in 2024 if it is being ran and i would like to find the missing titles for the other years. I also plan to do an "on this day" story every day linked to the family/ancestors. I'm not sure if it will be a blog or just on paper to make into a book (yes this is my plan for the 52 ancestors in 52 we...
